Advances in theatrical exhibition will be among 16 achievements that will be recognized during the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Scientific and Technical Awards presentation Feb. 23 at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
“This year, we honor 16 technologies for their exceptional contributions to how we craft and enhance the movie experience, from the safe execution of on-set special effects to new levels of image presentation fidelity and immersive sound to open frameworks that enable artists to share their digital creations across different software and studios seamlessly,” summed up SciTech Awards committee chair Barbara Ford Grant.
Those receiving Scientific and Engineering Awards (Academy Plaques) during the ceremony will be the creators of the Dolby Atmos object-based immersive cinema sound system. The Academy will recognize Charles Q. Robinson, Nicolas Tsingos, Christophe Chabanne, Mark Vinton and the team of software, hardware and implementation engineers of the Cinema Audio Group at Dolby Laboratories.

Stefano Langone sang his heart out to be a finalist on "American Idol"; however, number seven did not prove to be so lucky for him. Last Thursday, Stefano's rendition of "Closer" resulted in him getting farther from the "Idol" title. A few days after his elimination, Stefano stopped by the MTV News studio to answer some hard-hitting questions (and by hard hitting, we mean completely ludicrous).
Stefano may not have a record deal like recent castoff Pia Toscano is rumored to have, but that doesn't mean he's going to stop trying to win over the hearts of America. He revealed to our own Jim Cantiello that his debut album would be named Right Path, and we can't help but root for Stefano to find that path and make it his own.

La La Anthony makes a return to her MTV roots — this time, however, she's the one answering questions, not asking them.
On this week's episode of "When I Was 17" airing Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV, La La recalls a hairstyle that now has her asking: "What was I thinking?" The former MTV VJ is often seen cheering on new hubby and New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony sporting her long, enviable locks courtside, but she remembers a time when her hair wasn't always at the top of its game.
The style she's referring to was inspired by T-Boz of Tlc fame. "It was like the mushroom cut with two strands of hair hanging here on the sides," she dishes on the all-female episode,...
